I’ve struggled with managing my weight and hating my body since high school. I believed that I could only maintain my weight by exercising everyday and that if I didn’t exercise, I would instantly see the number on the scale go up. I didn’t believe that I could actually change eating habits, reduce late-night emotional binge eating by eating breakfast, and lose weight and maintain that weight loss even with very little exercise. And this happened during a very stressful month where I for sure would have gained the weight back if it were not for forming new habits.

My favorite part of Dr. Cindy Kimmi’s class is that there is an incredibly amount of grace involved: you learn to have grace for your own body and emotions. Her class is not focused on eating little and exercising more. It’s focused on what actually impacts our hunger: water, sleep, emotions, and stress. I feel that I am a success story not because I’ve reached a weight lower than I thought I could reach, but because I gained the tools necessary to combat unwanted binges and self condemnation.

“This was a very positive and transformative journey for me. Every week was informative and challenging in a good way. Dr. Cindy was really there with me every step of the way. She was encouraging but also pushed me to face the parts of myself I’ve tried to hide. I’m not the same person as I was when I started. I’m more aware of myself. I’m able to care for myself better, and as a result, I can take care of my family. I truly feel like the best version of myself.

I’m more conscious of what I’m putting into my body. I’m taking charge of my health. I have more energy than before, I can run and play with my kids. I feel more confident in who I am.

The modules broke down a lot of the different aspects of food psychology. It’s not just about the different kinds of food and what to eat. The program delved into understanding deeply rooted relationship with food and eating habits. The modules were easily digestible nuggets of knowledge that set us up for the week. And the most invaluable part of the program was the accountability. Dr. Cindy was always available. Our weekly meetings were like therapy sessions that uncovered my relationship with food. She made me feel comfortable and safe in our sessions. She explained and asked questions that got me to really open up."

I started gaining a lot of weight in 2019 and continued through early 2022. I was very unhappy with the way I looked and tried to lose weight several times with little success or gained it back after a few weeks. I never thought about getting a coach during this time due to many excuses I was telling myself. Mid 2022 I decided it was time to get help and was referred to Dr. Cindy Kimmi Tan. Before our consultation call I was still hesitant since I wanted to lose weight but wasn’t sure how dedicated I can be to a program. I had the perception that I would need to eat the same bland meals everyday, follow strict rules, and lose control of my daily life. However, after talking to Dr. Kimmi I felt relief and assured that I can do it because she works with you versus telling you what to do/shame you for mishaps.

The program is very relatable and easy going because Dr. Kimmi worked with me by providing knowledge, suggestions, and incremental changes that eventually became second nature in my daily life. She provided different perspectives and guides on healthy eating so I can still enjoy what I love. The program teaches you about good relationships with food and how to listen to your body. It’s not about cutting the things you enjoy out of your life completely because it is not sustainable. There are certain days/weeks where I would fall off the program due to life activities, but I continue to maintain the weight lost. This is the result from the program and being able to understanding my body better to determine when to stop. I learned about external and internal factors that affects my eating habits. Through knowledge and practice of these techniques, it became habitual and now I unconsciously make these decisions towards healthier food choices.

I couldn’t believe in the results after 11 weeks and losing 13+ lbs! I say 13+ because I am continuing to lose more weight in this last week. Dr. Kimmi is very present during this whole program and really aided in my success. I felt comfortable, supported, and learned a lot. Finding the right coach to take you through a weight lost journey is hard, but Dr. Kimmi made it very easy and enjoyable! Because of how much I’ve learn and gained from this experience I am referring friends and families to this program. I think everyone should have that supportive person to guide them along in a very tough road of healthy weight management.

Nutrition coaching with Dr. Cindy Kimmi Tan has been a life altering experience. I always had a vague idea of what was healthy food and what was bad food, but I never truly knew why. Dr. Cindy Kimmi has not only given me the tools that I need in order to live a healthy lifestyle, but she has helped me create a foundation to work off of by teaching me the why behind a healthy lifestyle. We have dug deep and uncovered various triggers or circumstances that have led to unhealthy habits and bit by bit she has taught me how to react differently in those situations. Her gentle spirit made a tough process much easier and honestly, enjoyable. I now react with patience and not with stress. Instead of binge eating, I replace that with a healthy habit. Because of what I am learning with Dr. Cindy Kimmi, I know that this will truly be a lifestyle change and not a quick fix! I now have the foundation and the tools to succeed!!! In addition, I lost a total of 30 lbs!

When I was growing up I always thought that meat and carbs were bad foods. Things like being told rice is bad for you comes to mind. So, every time I ate “healthy,” I would always decrease the amount of meat and carbs I ate, or would stop eating meat and carbs in general. But, when I started nutrition coaching, with Dr. Cindy Kimmi Tan, I learned that not only were meat and carbs not “bad” foods, but that I needed them to (1) stay full longer and (2) get the nutrients that my body needs. Because of Dr. Cindy Kimmi Tan, now eat all the foods (meat, cabs, and even ice cream) that my body needs and have lost 30 lbs in the processes!
